ASQ ASQ-CQE Online Questions & Answers

• Question 201:

  Which of the following tools can be used to communicate performance data in time sequence?

  A. Scatter diagram
  B. Pareto chart
  C. Control chart
  D. Flow chan
  C. Control chart

  ---

  Explanation

  A control chart is used to communicate performance data in a time sequence. It is designed to plot data points chronologically to identify trends, variations, and patterns over time, which is essential for process monitoring and improvement.

  "Introduction to Statistical Quality Control" by Douglas

  C. Montgomery, which explains the application and interpretation of control charts in quality control.

• Question 202:

  Which of the following techniques is used when implementing single minute exchange of die?

  A. Using more fasteners and clamps
  B. Eliminating the use of intermediate jigs
  C. Separating internal and external setup operations
  D. Adjusting and eliminating mechanization
  C. Separating internal and external setup operations

  ---

  Explanation

  When implementing Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED), separating internal and external setup operations is a key technique. Internal setup operations are those that can only be performed when the machine is stopped, whereas external

  setup operations can be performed while the machine is running. By distinguishing and optimizing these operations, setup times can be significantly reduced.

• Question 203:

  When planning quality control functions, which one of the following is MOST directly related to production of a quality product?

  A. Process control and process capability.
  B. Suitable blueprints.
  C. Dimensional tolerancing.
  D. Product audits.
  A. Process control and process capability.

• Question 204:

  Given a sample mean. X = 515. a sample standard deviation, s = 9. and a sample size, n = 6. what is the absolute value of the Student's t statistic to test if the sample mean is equal to the population mean, U = 500?

  A. 1.67
  B. 3.73
  C. 4.08
  D. 10.00
  B. 3.73

  ---

  Explanation

  The Student's t statistic is calculated as follows:

  t = (X - ) / (s / n)

  Given:

  Sample mean (X) = 515

  Population mean () = 500

  Sample standard deviation (s) = 9

  Sample size (n) = 6

  t = (515 - 500) / (9 / 6) = 15 / (9 / 2.45) 3.73

• Question 205:

  The weight of paint cans is considered

  A. Discrete data.
  B. Continuous data.
  C. Random data.
  D. Probability data.
  B. Continuous data.

  Explanation

• Question 206:

  The starting point for an organization when conducting a risk-based audit is to

  A. identify and quantify risks
  B. request a third-party audit
  C. commission a gap analysis
  D. add the audit to the internal audit schedule
  A. identify and quantify risks

  ---

  Explanation

  The starting point for conducting a risk-based audit is to identify and quantify risks. This allows the organization to focus on the areas with the highest potential impact and ensure that resources are allocated effectively to manage these risks.

• Question 207:

  In most cases, an improvement team facilitator will NOT normally:

  A. Be familiar with problem solving techniques.
  B. Provide feedback to the group.
  C. Function as the group leader.
  D. Summarize key ideas generated by the group.
  C. Function as the group leader.

  B. The affinity diagram.
  C. Plan-do-check-act.
  D. Problem solving flow chart.
  C. Plan-do-check-act.
